I would think that anyone can use the same exercises for quite a while with the 90% rule or staying conservative. I've kept standing OHP's up through 225 lbs w/out really trying. Obviously other exercises run into problems. I'd recommend trying to reset a few times before rotating them out vs. doing different exercises every runthrough. One thing I've done well with in regards to the 5/3/1 is to run a variation for a few...

Do the best that you can but really you probably have to guess without maxing. Not the end of the world. Just be conservative in your assumptions.

thanks 0311 just wanted to clarify.

That is possibly the second most popular split on the internet after Chest/Biceps-Back/Triceps-Legs/Shoulders. Tried something like that years ago, didn't work too well for me. I guess there's other factors to consider, like set/rep scheme, exercise selection and ratio of said exercises.

I like how the tris are only hit directly on one upper day, as well as rows on the lower, instead of doing them on both days with different exercises, like in the WSB standard template. I also think not doing singles for a while will benefit me as well, working with triples and 5's. Should anything be changed to make it a more strength sided routine? My primary goal is powerlifting, not mass. Goona give it a try regardless.

You're over-analyzing this one. Deload, come back and go by feel. After you've deloaded a few times in your life, you'll get an idea of what lifts you come back stronger on and which ones take you a week or two to hit PRs.

I have seen this posted alot of different places, seems like a pretty common split. Anybody had any luck with it? Opinions? Sorry, that was short and pretty broad, but you get what I am asking.
